Stash Bee blocks

 I finally got back to the sewing machine. And as it is the start of a new month, I need to make my blocks for Stash Bee. This time we had a lot of freedom to make our own pattern just use greens and blues and make a 6 inch block.  I really like 6 inch blocks; I find they are easier to be precise in the piecing. 




The project I most need to finish in the next 3 days is to cut out and sew a robe for my grandson.  I promised him at Christmas. His brother received a robe, but he only received fleece  blanket. I volunteered to make it into a robe for him.  I ordered the pattern and a coordinating fabric for sleeves and such. 


And I have started Lori Holt's Flea Market Flowers in the patriotic colors to hopefully be completed by the big celebration next year.  It is my first time to use evenweave.  I have had to do a lot of frogging!!!!
I like to do this in front of the tv each evening with my husband.  I will say he sits way over on the other end of the couch to avoid the movements of my needle.
